Web Dev Tools of the Week (No. 2)

The latest issue of my newsletter went out today, but I thought I would round up a few of my favourite picks of the week. Check out the full issue or subscribe for more but for now let's look at my selections of the week.

LangUI

An open-source Tailwind library with free to use responsive components tailored for AI and GPT projects, with dark and light modes built in. Combining Tailwind and GPT seems like a very 2023 thing to do! :)

LangUI

BlendIcons

This week's issue includes a few different free icon websites, including this one. It's a searchable/filterable resource of 142,000+ icons in various image and code formats and each available in different styles (bold, line, etc).

Video Thumbnail API

This is a cool open-source tool that allows you to get a thumbnail image from any public video URL at the specified time. You can access the service via the API using a URL like:

thumbnail.video/api/get?url={video_url}&seconds=${seconds}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Or directly in the browser, no login required, using the UI on the linked page.

Portfolio Template

If you're fairly new to web development and are looking for a simple portfolio template to show your work and skills, this might be a good option before you commit to something more custom. Of course, this one is customizable in itself, so you might like it as a long-term solution too.
